Hey Chris,

I just want to mention that this is basically what we tried to do the 
first time.  I don't necessarily think it's a bad idea, but willingness 
to cooperate and availabilty of web hosting were never the problem, it 
was getting someone to do the designing and upkeep.  But maybe that's 
changed.  I'm certainly still willing to help if it has.  Chris, I don't 
know if you guys host mailing lists or not, but I'm willing to do that 
if you can't.  (I'd have no problem hosting the website too, if it came 
to that.)

Keep me posted if you hear from anyone.  I can't donate much time, but 
I'd like to stay somewhat involved in the effort.  Thanks.

-Josh
